Is it possible to download sublerCLI for the Mac (similar to downloading HandBrakeCLI)?

[Michael Mueck]

I have a huge library of ripped DVDs that I want to compress to mkv and I want to pass them all through subler so I can get nice looking OCR’ed subtitles. I can automate the compression using HandBrakeCLI and presumably I’d also need sublerCLI in the same script to deal with those subtitles. Could somebody please let me know where I can download sublerCLI for the Mac - I don’t really have any idea how to create it from source code. Thanks.

There is https://bitbucket.org/galad87/sublercli/wiki/Home , but it’s a bit old, no one is working on it.

I know you closed the topic, but would you mind please answering the following:

1. I presume because nobody is working on SublerCLI that Subler is therefore not a graphical frontend for SublerCLI, right?
2. The latest version of SublerCLI is 1.5.1 while Subler is at 1.7.2 - have there been any improvements in the OCR capabilities in Subler since the last version of SublerCLI?
3. Is Subler scriptable in any way?

1. Right, it uses the libraries directly, no need to of yet another intermediate layer
2. I don’t think so
3. There is some AppleScript support to add to/start/stop the queue if I remember correctly.

So after trying SublerCLI and trying to figure out why I couldn’t get the OCR subtitles working, I eventually found this SublerCLI issue:

https://bitbucket.org/galad87/subler/issues/646/feature-request-ocr-hard-coded-subtitles

It effectively said OCR isn’t implemented and that you’re not interested in adding it. Sigh. That would have been nice to know from the very beginning given that it was the primary purpose of my original post :-/.
